My 365 project

DScience · Jan 4, 2010

So, I have a feeling I really might do it this time. There are multiple reasons why I am going to try and complete this 365, but I feel like if I do, I would like to post them here. I will post my four here, and then continue from there. Thus sorry for the 'double post' but I just want to stay consistent and have them all in one place instead of 365 individual threads.

**BTW all full size images are available for view on Flickr**

Day One:

Day Two:

Day Three:

Day Four:

these are great pictures! i agree the bokeh on these are fantastic. Such crisp shots and the color does them extremely well.

Day Five: (you really didn't think ALL would be bokeh? lol)

Ok, so I suck at self portraits, and strobing...so i'm practicing. This is me, doing science! Shot with 35mm f/1.8 and an sb-600 bare off camera to the right on a shelf, pointed towards ceiling and triggered via Nikon's CLS. C&C please on this one!

haha your stuff is amazing.

the self portrait is pretty good too. i wish i could take a self portrait like that D: everything's so sharp! everything's properly lit (unlike all my self portraits haha) :] keep going!

Dominantly · Jan 5, 2010

Yeah, I really did :lol:

I think it's a good self portrait. It's an interesting photo, I find myself interested in the actual act, doing whatever it was you were doing with the pipette (assuming thats what it is). You captured your right eye with detail, and I wonder if it would have been possible to get a little more head tilt to capture your left.
The photo has a warmer tone, which is more inviting then your typical cold, harsh, lab/medical office lighting.

One question, how did you focus this shot?

I like your self portrait; delightfully ambiguous. I just finished a 365 project on December 31. Here's the link: 365 days of photography in St. Louis' Forest Park - by Edward Crim

Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot and helps a lot!

Well I used a technique I learned from following Dustin Diaz. He places a light stand where he'll eventually be, focus on it manually, and lock it. I didn't lock it, because i'm a noob and haven't looked it up in my manual yet. So I just manually focused on an object that was about eye level, then got in position and moved it out of the way. Shot it several times, trying to get hand and face in focus.

Day Six:

Have a bad migraine tonight, snowed all day so I got a second sb-600. Here is the:

Stroist info: SB-600 w/ homemade snoot camera left, about 3 feet from subject. SB-600 bare on tripod camera right behind David, probably 8 feet away, all triggered via Nikon's CLS.
